How to make your character move?

Question

This is my first time making video games and I decided to use unity because mainly it was free. I am learning about terrain but my main problem is how to make the character your using move and how to make the camera follow him/her. Can someone help me out and explain it very simply because like I said this is my first time?

var MoveSpeed : int = 0.5;

function Update () {

if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow)){

 transform.Translate(Vector3,MoveSpeed,0,0);
 
 }

}

I couldn't test it as i'm using my phone. This is just a simple way of moving your object if you change "Translate" into Rotate you can well rotate your object.

i'm new myself :P

I would reccomend http://www.unity3dstudent.com/ site since your new and is a great place to start.

This should work for you. this is a using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour {

 public int movementspeed = 100;

 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
 
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A)) {
         transform.Translate (Vector3.left * movementspeed * Time.deltaTime); 
     }

     if(Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)) {
         transform.Translate (Vector3. right *   movementspeed * Time.deltaTime);
     }
 }

}

You can also use this for moving an object.

 float movSpeed = 7f;
 
 void Update {
 transform.Translate (new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*movSpeed*Time.deltaTime), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*movSpeed*Time.deltaTime));
 
 }
